Charlotte Pipe Pvc 02400 3600HA Pvc Reducing Tee 1/2x1/2x3/4

Product Description

The CHARLOTTE PIPE FOUNDRY CO. PVC 02400 3600HA is a white PVC Schedule 40 reducing tee designed to connect a smaller branch line to a larger run of pipe in low-pressure plumbing and irrigation applications. The fitting measures 1/2 inch on both the run ends and 3/4 inch on the branch outlet, with all three connections using solvent-weld slip sockets. Manufactured to meet ASTM D 2466 standards, this tee is suited for sprinkler and irrigation systems where a reliable, pressure-rated branch connection is required. Licensed plumbers and irrigation technicians are the primary installers.

This reducing tee is commonly used in residential and light commercial sprinkler and irrigation systems where a branch line of smaller diameter must tap into a larger main run. The slip x slip x slip configuration accepts standard PVC pipe for solvent-weld joints, making it a straightforward fit in new installations and repair work. It is sold in packages of 50 units, making it practical for contractors stocking job-site inventory. Applications include lawn irrigation manifolds, drip system headers, and low-pressure water distribution lines.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified irrigation technician following applicable IPC and local plumbing codes. Shut off and depressurize the water supply before cutting into any existing line.
